PONY 2-Pack Original Cabinet Clamps, 8510

The Pony 8510 Cabinet Claw 2-Pack is designed specifically to simplify the installation of face-frame cabinetry. By combining alignment, pre-drilling, and fastening into a single continuous step, these clamps eliminate the hassle of shifting and resetting multiple tools during an install.

Each clamp features a built-in pilot-hole drilling guide on one end. Once you drill your hole, the guide simply flips out of the way, letting you drive cabinet screws directly into place without unclamping or repositioning the tool. This keeps the stiles tightly aligned from start to finish.

In terms of holding power, the clamps support a maximum load capacity of 650 pounds. They feature a 2-inch jaw width, a 1-1/2 inch throat depth, and an opening range from 2 inches up to 4-3/8 inches. To keep your wood surfaces safe from scuffs and pressure marks, the set includes four sets of protective rubber pads.

Because these are purpose-built for face frames, sizing is specific. They are designed to work on stiles measuring between 1-1/2 inches and 2 inches wide, with a minimum opening of 2 inches. If your cabinetry falls outside those specific dimensions, these clamps will not fit your frames.

Verdict: The Pony 8510 Cabinet Claw 2-Pack is an excellent choice for anyone installing face-frame cabinets. Its integrated drill guide and sturdy 650-pound capacity streamline the joining process, saving valuable time on the job.
